Why SpaceX Needs Starlink | How Money Works

Why SpaceX Needs StarlinkIn 2019, with around 75 billion visits a month, Google was the most popular website in the world. Perhaps more impressive, is that combining the next three--YouTube, Facebook, and Baidu--would only bring you to around 60 billion.What’s less talked about, though, is the magic that makes the internet easy to express our thoughts (Twitter), share family photos (Facebook), and for you to like this video.For most people, the internet is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. Those important things in life like work, staying connected with friends, and subscribing to Compounded Daily, are all enhanced through the use of the internet.And yet while 94% of America has access, most of the world (about 52%) does not. But how those who don’t eventually get connected will start to look a lot different.#Starlink #SpaceX #HowMoneyWorksSources: https://pastebin.com/VfHzJrHwMusic: Astral Roar - Lama House Lupus Dream - Lama House Cotton Spheres - Lama House Slow Silk Lullaby - Lama House Astral Roar - Lama HouseDISCLAIMER: This video is not official financial advice.

Why EVE Onlines Market System Might Be Too Efficient For its Own Good - How Money Works | How Money Works

Why EVE Onlines Market System Might Be Too Efficient For its Own Good - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈The third and final installment in my series on the Financial System of EVE Online.So far in this series we have already explored how the massive wars you hear about in gaming magazines are funded using everything from in game casinos to war bonds.We have also explored how the game has it’s very own tax havens and how they were causing the same kind of issues that tax havens do in the real world.EVE Online’s economy is so large and complex that it truly does rival some small nations, what’s more than that is that it’s system are so realistic that they can genuinely be used to model real world economic systems far more effectively than even the most expensive models used by governments, universities and financial institutions.Part of this is by design. But it may not all be for the best.So its time to learn how money works, and see how the market system in EVE online might have been too well designed for it’s own good.In an interview with the founder and CEO of EVE online, it was revealed that the Marketplace in eve, (where buyers and sellers will trade items) was actually copied off the Nasdaq.You see way back in 2002 when this game was first being developed the creators knew that enabling free and effective trade between players would be key for making the game truly immersive, as opposed to similar games at the time, that relied primarily on trading with non-player-controlled characters that would offer fixed per-determined prices.So they needed to develop a system to make this happen.#EVEOnline #Finance #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Part 1 - https://youtu.be/m6j_UsGJnkQPart 2 - https://youtu.be/2t25bsqlTM8Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSRMusic by Epidemic Sound & Eve Online Original SoundtrackSign Up Link (if you want to try out the game) - https://www.eveonline.com/signup?invc=ef33cafb-0aa2-4051-9f03-55dc800247c2(This link gives both you and I rewards in the game)Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

How the Fed Could Fix Inflation Tomorrow (If It Wanted To) - How Money Works | How Money Works

How the Fed Could Fix Inflation Tomorrow (If It Wanted To) - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈After six months of blaring alarm bells the fed finally said this week that inflation might be a concern in the short to medium term.Admitting you have a problem is the first step to solving it I suppose… but the economy has become used to easy money and the remaining steps to kick this addiction are going to be a lot more painful… probably.We are all used to seeing the memes about money printing and the headlines about stock shortages causing price spikes, but is it possible to actually fix this?Well regular viewers of the channel will know I hate needlessly dragging out an answer, so the simple answer is yes! The fed could fix this problem tomorrow if they really wanted to, but that type of extreme cure might very well be worse than the disease, which is the crux of the predicament we find ourselves in.A lot of people are frustrated that price inflation is happening before our eyes and the people with the power to fix this problem don’t even want to admit it exists.It just doesn’t seem to make sense but there is a really good reason they are acting like this. To find out why that is, it’s time to learn How Money Works to really understand how the fed is stuck between a rock and a hard place right now.The reality is that they will eventually need to sacrifice one of the following things, the stock market, the housing market, the government, or the dollar itself.#HyperInflation #Fed #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSRLink to my vid on fed profitability - https://youtu.be/DyQ5H8DbdlgLink to my vid on retirement - https://youtu.be/Q5sF0MbfVn8Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

How EVE Online's Massive Virtual Wars Are Financed - How Money Works | How Money Works

How EVE Online's Massive Virtual Wars Are Financed - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈eve online, (a massive multiplayer online spaceship game) is probably best know for two things.Making headlines about it’s massive in game conflicts involving tens of thousands of players and it’s incredibly realistic in game financial system which can make loosing a virtual spaceship just as consequential as loosing a phone or a car in the real world.Countless magazines, and even much more successful YouTube channels have talked about these two factors individually, but where I think they get really interesting is when they merge together.For a game about spaceships set 21,000 years in the future, EVE is surprisingly realistic, and that realism extends to these massive wars in the sense that they are expensive. The in game currency called ISK has an approximate exchange rate of about $6 per billion in game isk. Although it must be mentioned that trading this in game currency directly back or forth for real life money is actually against the rules of the game for now at least and will get you banned.Even still, this shows that in game assets have a very tangible real world value on the grey market, so when you see headlines about trillions of ISK been lost in these epic battles it gives you an idea of just how expensive it can be to wage entire wars in EVE Online.But this all begs a bigger question…Who or what funds these wars?With a price tag of hundreds of thousands of real world dollars and nothing but virtual space pride in return, it doesn’t sound like a very good deal… Right?Well, it’s time to learn how space money works, if you enjoy this video please consider liking and subscribing for new video’s like this one made every week.Ok so there are three really interesting and unique ways these major wars have been funded over the past 2 decades that this game has existed. But let’s start with the most basic one.#EVEOnline #EconomyOfEVE #HowMoneyWorksMusic by Epidemic Sound & Eve Online Original SoundtrackSign Up Link (if you want to try out the game) - https://www.eveonline.com/signup?invc=ef33cafb-0aa2-4051-9f03-55dc800247c2(This link gives both you and I rewards in the game)Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

The number of people actually making stuff for a living is down by over a third, in the same time the workforce as a whole has GROWN by 50%. Not too long ago, this was actually seen as positive progress. Blue collar manufacturing jobs are dangerous, harder on your body, and all around seen as inferior to working in a nice air conditioned office contributing to the all encompassing “service sector”. But that’s all started to change… People have realised that manufacturing jobs can earn more than white collar work, and it’s become a desirable career all over again. Elections are being won or lost on the promise of “creating” manufacturing jobs and billions of dollars are being handed out to companies to make it happen. But the trend is not our friend, and fighting it might end up doing more harm than good. These are still incredibly difficult jobs with a very uncertain future. So why are we all suddenly yearning for the lines?Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.
